‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ is renowned for making positive headlines for its advancement of images of the LGBTQIA community in the media sphere.

However, season 12 of the Emmy award-winning show was thrust into controversy thanks to contestant Sherry Pie – who sat down on the Tamron Hall Show to break his silence on his shocking acts.

The drag performer, whose real name is Joey Gugliemelli, made headlines after being disqualified from the competition in March 2020 after admitting to sexually exploiting several men. 

The drama surrounding his involvement with the show surfaced hours before the first episode aired.

It became apparent that Gugliemelli had posed as a fake casting director named Allison Mossie and bamboozled male acting hopefuls into sending money and revealing photos of themselves under the pretense of pitching them for roles.

More than a dozen men have stepped forward to identify themselves as victims of the abhorrent catfishing/sexual abusive scheme.

Gugliemelli has admitted all that he’s been accused of and sat down with Tamron Hall to discuss the situation in-depth.

‘Basketball Wives’ was once one of VH1’s highest rated programs, easily netting 1-2 million viewers per episode at the height of its popularity.

And though season 8 (which aired over 2019) saw the Shaunie O’Neal-produced show score some of its lowest ratings in its history, the season was still able to secure average viewership of at least 1 million.

Thanks to the hype that preceded the show’s season 9 kick off (February 9), many predicted the return of Malaysia Pargo, Evelyn Lozada, Jackie Christie, Jennifer Williams, Kristen Scott, Ogom “OG” Chijindu, and Feby Torres to screens would be a slam dunk on the ratings front.

Premiere figures reveal, however, the year that passed since the last time fans caught new episodes of ‘Basketball Wives’ may have worked to its detriment.

With multiple #1 movies and musical endeavors to his credit, rapper-actor Ludacris is no stranger to cooking up hits on the Billboard charts or box office.  Yet if the trailer to his new Discovery+ show is to be believed, that’s where his talents stop.

His effort to change that comes courtesy of ‘Luda Can’t Cook’ – a one-hour TV special that shows him bringing the heat in the kitchen under the tutelage of James Beard Award-nominated chef, Meherwan Irani.

Impossible! Time has clearly frozen still for Brandy and most of the cast of the 1997 remake of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s ‘Cinderella.’  No further proof of that is needed than the dazzling tribute medley the GRAMMY winner unveiled on her 42nd birthday (which coincides with the classic TV film’s long-awaited premiere on Disney+).

Revisiting some of the movie’s most beloved tunes and costumes, B-Rocka seemingly stepped in a time machine as she looked every bit the young Disney princess she portrayed nearly 25 years ago in the Whitney Houston-led small screen flick.

Reassembling other high profile cast mates for the 2021 tribute (including EMMY, GRAMMY, OSCAR, and TONY-award winner Whoopi Goldberg, TONY award winner Bernadette Peters, Jason Alexander, and more), look inside to see the epic updated action.
